Some of the new words are contained in the following tpcech given by a public speaking students and they illustrate hi good intentions: ,- A fabulous number of fans wit nessed the boxing match between Nld Crabtree and Buttling FltVpflin. At the end of the tenth round the judges were in a quandry as to who had won. The fnn were filled with ebullition. One Judge t aid Crabtree should be commended for his box ing. He remarked that he was fill ed with conpunction over Shepflin' showing. The other Judge main tained that Crabtree's upper-cut were superfluous but Shepflin' puissant rabbit punches were enough to subvert Crabtree. The taciturn referee said in a veracious statement that neither one tried to hurt the other.t Therefore, the match was a draw. While the officials were wrangling over the decision a piece of culinary furnishing hit Crabtree on the head. Crabtree simulated that he was unconscious. Crabtree's manager shouted an ominous threat against the person who threw crock ery. The referee made a succinct speech that the match was a draw and why it was.

In the afternoon Mr. Brum baugb consented to address the High school and Seventh and Eighth grades when requested by students. In an informal talk Mr. Brumbaugh gave the students some plea-ing word of advice, lie spoke to the I pupils of the above grades about their coming state examinations. He stated a problem on the blackboard that had been missed by all who at tempted to solve it in a former Eighth grids arithmetic examination, 'and Jim Slut her proved the hero of the hour by solving the problem. Mr. Brumbaugh told of hia base ball experiences and his enjoyment of the game. That afternoon he at- I tended tht Maupin-Dufur game on our field and saw Maupin win 4-0. I Maupin students remember the i kindness of Mr. Gronewald. They j welcome the happy personality of his ! succe sor and hope he may often ad dress them. "Merloa ( th. Movies" May PLACES OF INTEREST AROUND MAUPIN Perhaps the Deschutes river Is Maupin' chief natural source of at traction to residents and visitors who come to this Interesting point. This river, unhsmnered by power plants, is rated as one-of the best trout fish ing stream In Oregon. The Oak Sprig hatchery keeps the river well snpptUd with rainbow trout. This hatachery turns off 1,670,000 trout from 6 to 12 inches long an nually. Each of the three pools hold over 650,000 fish. The springs themselves arc beautiful cascades which pour out of the canyon walls into the river. ' The new steel-concrete bridge costing 1100,000 is a thing of beauty. The curved approach allows a fast crossing without danger. The bridge is finished in white diatomace ous earth. The railing; and details of the bridge are well deserving of notice and appreciation. When Lewis and Clark passed the mouth of the Deschutes it was called Townhnahlooks by the Indiana. The French name is more suggestive of the turbulence of the ctream. 'Al though the river is comparatively young, it has cut a great gorge down through the deep lava flows. While In the canyon one cannot re frain from expressions of wonder at the grandeur of the towering w;Hs and their fantastic structure. Numerous creeks empty their water Into the Deschutes. BaWe cen It one of the larger streams. This name did not originate fr?m cxecessive heat but from a bak;;'s oven onee built within the canyon. It seems that a freighter In travel ing from The Dalles to Canyon City with a load of flour lost hia horses in the vicinity. This man, who was a baker by trade, in order to realize a profit, built an oven, baked hi3 supply of flour into bread and sold it to the passing traffic of freighters and travelers. CUBS DEFEAT DUFUR Last Friday the Dufur baseball stars were defeated by the Cubs f Maupin on the home diamond. The (core at the end of the seven innings stood 4-0 In favor of the Maupin growlers. This is the first shut out they have imposed this season. Elton pitched to Orvillc for Maupin while Knight pitched and Rtcuber caught for the visitors. RnodgrasFraley scored seven strike outs while Knight-Steuber got eleven strike outs. . " ' ' Bothwcll g'ot a lucky hit that brought in two runs for Maupin, whilo Val made several snappy catches in tupport of the battery.
